Very good food, but truly awful service. Over an hour between courses, and repeatedly ignored requests for extra drinks, the bill, etc., combined with arrogant disdain, effectively ruined our evening.

Stock Restaurant – Manchester City CentreSUPERB VALUE FOR MONEY. ALL THE MAIN DISHES TASTED THE SAME BUT FOR GOOD DEAL COULD NOT BE BETTERED
Royal Nawaab – LevenshulmeVery difficult to find - I had to seek the assistance of the long arm of the law. But well worth it. Excellent "rice and three curries" for £3.50. Just what you need after a morning round town.
This and That – Manchester City CentreThis Restaurant has to be one of the greatest in Manchester! the food,service and atmosphere is out of this world. GO TOPKAPI!
Topkapi Palace – Manchester City CentreOK I haven't given any outstanding ratings (a reflection on my fussiness rather than the place), but I love it here. I've been coming here for years and the lovely food, good service and friendly atmosphere always ensure I have a great time- as well as the happy hour wine of course. I've introduced lots of people to its joys and everyone has been suitably impressed. I can't sing Velvet's praises enough.
Velvet – Manchester City Centreexcellent asian / bengali food. much more authentic than the curry houses that pander to a western palate.
Kushoom Koly – StockportFlawless food from a vast menu. 4 of us went specifically for the night out here from 2hours away, well worth the trip! This restaurant serves up excellect food and service just as in Thailand, the 'Land of Smiles'. Not long after going through the door of the Jitrada you will be smiling yourself. Words will not do this justice place, highly recommended***** If you need a hotel nearby, AVOID the Britania Airport Hotel, it was apalling!! Fawlty Towers.
Jitrada Thai Restaurant – SaleOn the basis of my first visit, the Yang Sing deserves its reputation as one of Britain's premier Chinese restaurants. It advertises that it will design a banquet for you around your likes and dislikes at a fixed price. We told the waitress what these were and that we dont want to spend more than £25 per head. We left it to her to pick the food and keep it as a surprise. It was great. Nothing could have been described as "the usual you get in a chinese", but, equally, there was nothing odd. Service was first class. Our visit was for a saturday nightnd, even for 7.30, the reservation had been essential. As mentioned above, food for four cost £100. Drinks and tip added another £50. Not a cheap night out but worth every penny.
Yang Sing – Manchester City CentreAbsolutely fabulous. Buffet £10/head & if you want a cheap night just drink tap water. Yummmm.
Royal Nawaab – LevenshulmeExcellent value for money and always friendly service. It has become a mainstay of Manchester Eateries and can always be depended on. The extended non-smoking policy is a welcome addition.
Croma – Manchester City CentreThe ambience of this place has to be tested to believe. Wonderful staff, quality beers and excellent choice of quality food. On a sunny day,"Shambles Square" as we still call it, is a match for Paris, Amsterdam or Madrid.
Sinclairs Oyster Bar – Manchester City CentreExcellent restaurant
Gurkha Grill – DidsburyThis is the best balti house you can find. The food and service is brilliant and Kahn is very friendly, and so are his staff. They make you very welcome even if it is you 1st time or 21st time.
Bilash Balti House – SwintonThe best food I've ever had since I was in the old country! Vincenzo.
Ciao Napoli – BoltonPasta, Pizza and Puddings are the priority here, in a friendly, American-themed atmosphere. Located at the front of the Valley Leisure complex, the location is handy for pre- or post- entertainment dining...I've been known to pop in with friends just for chocolate cookie dessert, after a trip to the cinema. Special offers Monday-Thursday - all-you-can-eat for around £5, available until 10pm. Able to accommodate parties of around 12-15 people.
Frankie and Bennys – BoltonGreat pub, nice food, nice staff - just right for a bite to eat and a quiet drink.
High Grove Hotel – CheadleThe Ox has a current menu firmly in the "modern british" style. My partner had a starter of crab cakes (spicy), followed by a good rib-eye steak. I had black pudding, on a potato & apple rosti, followed by pork chop with roast vegetable couscous. All excellent. Being greedy, we had side orders of fine beans and a really good rocket & parmesan sald. It meant we were too full for desserts, but managed coffee. Service was excellent throughout. It was great to have such quality food in this relaxed environment. Bill, including drinks was just short of £60, which we felt was good value.
The Oxnoble – Manchester City CentreBeen several times, but never anyone else in the restaurant at lunch time. One bad experience with mussels but generally food excellent, though expensive for the place. Bar food better value, and just as nice, with more punters to give a better atmosphere.
